West Portal:

| B&T B&O abandoned the tunnel in 1972. |
East Portal:
 |
| wvrailmuseum "As stated in Mr. Clarke's book, Kingsville Tunnel is 834 feet [254m] long, of medium sandstone, shale and four-foot coal seam, with 1907 sandstone facades (surviving on the east end, the west end having the elegant 1924 facade added by the B&O); sandstone walls and partial brick arch." |
 |
| Facebook Reel Linda erroneously claims the tunnel was built in 1924 instead of 1907 because the number 1924 is in the west facade. |
I could not find Kingsville. B&T says "The Coal & Coke Railway (C&C) is a former railroad between Charleston and Elkins, West Virginia." It was fully merged into B&O in 1934. B&O started abandoning parts of that route in 1941.
